How to Diagnose and Overcome the Five Critical Dysfunctions of AI Transformation

What you'll learn
Tell Output Metrics From Outcome Metrics
Separate model accuracy from revenue lift, cost reduction, and decision quality — and know which ones to manage.
Build an Outcome-First Dashboard
Design a review rhythm where business KPIs come before any technical metric — and what to do when they disagree.
Write Kill Criteria That Actually Kill
Define shutdown conditions upfront ('we stop if X doesn't move by Y') so failing initiatives die before draining budget.
Why this topic matters
Run AI as a project and success is measured in delivery dates, accuracy, and feature completeness. A 94% accurate model that moves no business metric is a failed investment in a success costume. This is Dysfunction 5: Inattention to Outcomes, fed by every layer below. Teams celebrate green dashboards while the P&L stays flat, because nobody defined 'working' upfront. You leave with rituals that measure what matters — and kill what doesn't.
